Traveler reviews
Breathtaking nonstop stories by a very knowledgeable Guide- a memorable walk indeed!!
Elsie E was knowledgable and friendly to everyone in the group, at the start l informed her that my senior parents were from Zimbabwe, though academics themselves but if she could slow down in her speech so that they would understand her, AND she did it very well through out the walking. Thank you Elsie you were amazing - you also took time to answer individual questions that included my mum’s. You were very respectful too, they sung praises of your personality. My parents and l enjoyed all the stories behind each college especially the open window of that pub and the women who never graduated but now whose work has been recognised.
Open Top Bus Tour
Very good, very enjoyable, but very bumpy 😄
Excellent tour
We really enjoyed the tour. We got stuck in quite a lot of traffic in the center, but we didn't mind because it was sunshiny and you could see lots from the upper deck. My only criticism is that it would have been nice to take a photograph of the windmill on the outskirts, but we zoomed past at a high speed, so i was unable to.
Great way to get to know Cambridge
A great way to see the many sights of this beautiful city. The commentary was excellent and very clear. Headphones were not needed. We thought the children might get bored with sitting on a bus for long periods but they loved the open top experience. We hopped on and off a few times and never had to wait long for a bus to come along. We learned a great deal about Cambridge and would recommend it to anyone. Superb value.
Not bad, worth doing
This is worth doing as it does show you a lot of the city of Cambridge from a nice vantage point. The commentary however is prerecorded so while I was on the trip it sometimes was in the wrong place! Useful though to be able to hop on and off at various spots.
